SNB to keep the ‘restrictive door’ wide open for now, support the franc – Commerzbank SNB EURCHF Banks InterestRate
will hike by 75 bps to 0.50%. By doing that the SNB does not take any major risks as the market is pricing in this step so the effect on the franc is likely to be limited. If, however, the SNB seems surprisingly moderate in its statement as far as future rate hikes are concerned that might put downside pressure on CHF. In my view that would not be in the SNB’s interest as it also wants to intervene against a weak franc.
“I do not want to exclude a 100 bps step completely as the SNB might try to rely more on frontloading to move the key rate away from zero more quickly – the SNB can always be relied upon for a surprise. A step of this magnitude would no doubt be positive for CHF.”Information on these pages contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
